Block 2 paper pieced segments

[gmhowl]

In Block 2 (February) I am supposed to paper piece H, I, J, and K, but there are no seam allowances for this on the paper pattern. The B and C template placement are directly on the line, so if you butt up the new piece and sew, nothing will be attached. However, the instructions say to sew on the "blue line" shown ONLY in the instructions, and do not say how large a seam allowance inside of the printed line to make. HELP!!!!!! LeVonne N

LeVonne, for most of the inside seams Sarah's instructions suggest 1/8". You need to fold the stabilizer on the sewing line and trim the background to 1/8'', align the new piece to the edge you just cut then sew on the line. Also, pieces B, C and F should extend a little bit beyond the sewing line and they will get caught in the seam. I hope this helps. Manuela

Thanks you for your reply. I think I figured it out. Very confusing instructions, though.
